Makes you wonder how in the hell they are being stolen?

I'd presume they are not exactly easy to hotwire...

Yikes!

And the salesman told me that these cars are impossible to steal! I knew it wasn't true. Nothings impossible.

If you look at the stats, it's all the base/near-base class luxuries in the top which obviously points to volume of available vehicles. Doesn't mean these cars are easy to steal though so wouldn't fret. I bet if put a percentage on stolen vs inventory volume, we'd be looking at minor fractional difference. What's probably more alarming is 1 out of 4 are stolen in California, but that could probably also speak to volume.
